City Manager Szerlag said that he had distributed a memo on Friday <br />in the FYI package, and noted that he met with staff, City Attorney and developers and they <br />agreed that waivers will not be granted for any construction activities that occur outside the <br />building footprint. He said in terms of granting waivers, the City will grant a waiver if <br />construction activities performed within the building does not cause excessive noise, and the <br />City defines what constitutes excessive noise as something that does not exceed 65 decibels <br />from the property line. He said if activity does not exceed 65 decibels from the property line <br />regardless of the time, the contractor can work, but if we get complaints, either a Code <br />Enforcement Officer or a Police Officer goes out there and if the sound level is greater than 65 <br />decibels, then it will be reassessed and determined that they are violating the standard. <br />5 <br />
